    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT1212 my ipad is disabled will not do anything how can i resolve

    my youngest has inputted the wrong passcode many times and the ipad is disabled nothing happens when i touch the screen can anyone help

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ipad says disabled and I am unable to enable it through itunes

    My Ipad says Ipad disabled connect to Itunes.  When I connect to Itunes it says Ipad is locked please enter code.  I have a security code enabled on the Ipad so my kids wont get on it, but I am unable to enter the code, because I cant do anything on it since it's disabled. 

    Of you tried putting the code in too many times, it locks it also giving you the disabled message.
    Let it sit for 5-30 minutes then try your code again.
    This is a security feature in case it's stolen ect, it's not something you want to remove.
    When in this mode connecting it to iTunes will not do anything either.

  • What to do after Ipad is disabled and not recognize by Itunes. Can not follow any of the step to either syinc or restore.

    I am unable to use my Ipad because I forgot the password. I tried many times. It is disabled. I connect to the computer and Itunes does not open it. It says that I have to use a passbcode to be able to enter Itunes. Completely disabled. I tried all the instructions offered on line. But nothing is working.
    Please, any advise? Thank you!

    If your computer's iTunes is prompting you to enter the passcode on the iPad then try recovery mode, that should let you reset the iPad back to factory defaults - see half-way down this page : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
